The Clear Linux* Project is a distribution built for various cloud use cases in order to showcase the best of Intel Architecture technology, from low-level kernel features to complex applications that span across the entire OS stack. We're putting emphasis on power and performance optimizations throughout the operating system as a whole.

Clear Containers leverage the isolation of virtual-machine technology along with the deployment benefits of containers. The security of containers is improved by using Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT). The optimization of key components results in slimmer, simpler, safer and substantially speedier virtualization.

Docker is an open platform for building, shipping and running distributed applications. It gives programmers, development teams and operations engineers the common toolbox they need to take advantage of the distributed and networked nature of modern applications.

Clear Containers for Docker* Engine is now available on multiple operating systems. This enables executing existing Docker applications in the secure and fast Clear Containers environment.

The experimental source code is based on the Docker 1.8.1 upstream release, and the repository is published at:
